Austrian Side Cap, Surplus
Along with the beret, a side cap or garrison cap is among the most recognizable pieces of military headwear. It was more common in the past but still often seen used with a dress uniform, or a bomber jacket if you're a dandy pilot. Here's an Austrian side cap as issued currently by the Bundesheer to members of the Air Force.

Note! In some cases, the cockade has been removed. As it was embroidered directly instead of applied as a separate patch, the fabric will not look perfect underneath.
Size Info
Manufactured to the European size system: head circumference in centimeters. We have converted these to the nearest US hat size. Your exact size will sit a wee bit high on the head as a side cap should. If you want to wear it lower, pick a larger size.
Austrian Surplus
These are used pieces of headwear but never dragged on the ground in combat. Still good for dressing sharp. The most noteworthy thing is that the cockade and other insignia might be missing. (If you are going to wear this in public, consider stripping the front bare even if they are present.)
Austrian surplus
Functional, neutral, clean. That's what the Austrian Bundesheer gear is made of. Our Austrian surplus revolves mostly around the Anzug 75 and Anzug 03 clothing systems, but who knows, maybe the "Tarnanzug Neu" will make it's appearance if the Austrians decide to clear the stocks in the future. Get your OD gear while the stocks last.
After the Second World War the Austrian soldier looked like a weird mixture of Allies and Germans; the M1 style helmet and general profile really tried to bring that NATO vibe up, but a lot of the gear and even the dotted camouflage pattern looked surprisingly much like WW2 German issue. In the 70s they took a major leap towards NATO with the introduction of the all-green Anzug 75 clothing and equipment system closely inspired by the American equivalents, finally letting go of the "old stuff". The Anzug 03 brought the game up to date with some changes in effort to modernize the whole thing. Now the Bundesheer is again moving over to camouflage.
